Corrections to Issue 49

Thanks to Mary Mys, a few corrections:

IRA DAVIS LOUNSBURY and ELIZABETH alia BETSY PIPER

Elizabeth alia Betsy Piper born 12 MAY 1826 in New York State; died 09 OCT 1899 in Pipersville, Jefferson County, WI; burial next to husband at Pipersville Cemetery, Jefferson County, WI.

Your #17: John Milton Lounsbury born 28 DECEMBER 1873 in Watertown, Ixonia Township, Jefferson Co., WI. He WAS NOT BORN IN MANITOWOC CO., WI, but died there. He has a WWI Draft Card, which gives me his middle name.

Thomas Lounsbury, who died during WWII, was NOT DIVORCED from Georgia Whiting. She remained a widow for quite some time after his death, and then remarried. She lived with her parents while he was in service and after Thomas Lounsbury's death. One of the obits says survived by his wife and two children. Whoever sourced that they were divorced is incorrect.

On your No. 42: The correct spelling is HAUGE. Alice B. Lounsbury, daughter of Fremont Lawson Lounsbury and PRIEBE was born 03 June 1910 in Madison, Dane County, WI. Married HOWARD LEROY HAUGE ca 1929-1930 in Madison, Dane County, WI. His parents were of Norwegian descent. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin after their marriage. Yes, he worked for an insurance company as a head in Flushing, New York. HOWARD LEROY HAUGE born 15 Dec 1906 in Westby, Christiana Township, Vernon County, WI; died 28 MAR 1986 in Pompano Beach, Broward County, FL. ALICE B. LOUNSBURY HAUGE died 25 APR 1976 in Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, FL. They had children who were born in Madison, WI, but unknown names.

Gordon Lounsbury died suddenly at his home at 131 South St. this morning. He was 30 years old and the father of three small children. Lounsbury had been employed at the Alloy Products Corp. for the past nine years and was a member of the First Presbyterian church. He was born in Sherry, Wis., on March 31, 1919. Lounsbury had been ill for several days with a type of influenza. He worked for the shipping room of the Alloy Products corp. He is survived by his wife, Helen, and three children, Lynn, 10, Tommy, 6, and Barbara 4. Also surviving are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John G. Lounsbury, 203 Dunbar Ave.; a brother, Floyd, who is a professor at Yale University; and a sister, Elva of Pittsburgh.

The Rev. Aubrey Young will conduct funeral services at the Lyle-Tuschen funeral home. Internment will be at Prairie Home Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 4 p.m. tomorrow.

NOTE: Unknown if his wife remarried, but the two daughters, Lynn and Barbara died. Unknown when. The only child who lived was Thomas, who married twice, and died in Racine, Racine County, WI. See his SSDI.

Daughter of John Glenn Lounsbury and Anna Louise Jorgensen:

Elva Louise Lounsbury born 07 July 1916 in Sherry, Wood Co., WI; died 07 NOV 2003 in Delavan, Walworth County, WI; burial at Prairie Home Cemetery, Waukesha, WI. Unknown what her occupation was. She lived in Pittsburgh, PA, lived in Dundee, IL, and in WI.

NOTE: Somewhere someone has noted a 1930 US Census in Michigan for Fremont L. Lounsbury. He would be the son of IRA DANIEL LOUNSBURY. In the 1920 US Census he and his family were living in Seattle, King Co., WA. and he was working for a security company Anyone who views that 1930 US Census can plainly see where he was. But, that is him. There is no 1930 US Census for his wife or children, who were probably living back in WI at the time.

I am one of Thomas E Lounsbury Sr's daughters, just to let you know Helen's sur name was Laverrenz, she did remarry, and all kids Lynn, Barb ( not my dad Tom) are still living. Lynn lives in Iowa, Barb was adopted after Helen gave up the kids for adoption after John passed, not sure where she is living. Helen remarried and moved to Ca,Where she had another daughter, Helen passed in 1984?
